Strohm with bloomberg news. It has been an interesting week to have you here. We had Edward Snowden be a keynote speaker at the sxsw conference by video. We also had some very serious accusations, a supporter of the cia, diane feinstein, on the senate floor that on making many people who Cover National Security and privacy wonder what is next in this National Debate were having. Lets start by asking your reaction to the accusations against the cia and their spying on the senate. They are very serious. Senator feinstein has been a great champion of the cia and Intelligence Community. This is a senator who does her homework. She is very lawful and substantive. What is interesting about it, one of the allegations is that the cia was auditing the senate computers, the database, and although there have been denials, that is not seen to be a denial that the cia did do some investigation of those computers without the senate authorization. That is a very serious problem. If the cia was concer
Somehow telling them that you fired her was somehow a kinder thing to her since you had already done that . I mean, it doesnt make sense to me. Why would you go to them in the first place and tell them you had problems with her, unless you were papering the file . It was out of courtesy to our primary customer to notify them that we had these allegations and were investigating them. But you didnt think it was a courtesy to let them know that you fired her . Following the termination we did call i called my counterpart and informed them about the conditions around her termination at a very high level. Okay. Lets talk a little bit about the nondisclosure form. Ive had a chance my staff has had a chance, i should accurately say, to look at the nondisclosure form. Its my understanding that theres nothing in the nondisclosure form that delineates the ongoing superior rights of an employee to report safety concerns to either an ig or to congress, that that is not in your disclosure report, i
Working with the committee. Even as we have learned from the past, we must be able to put the past behind us to devote our selves to the challenges ahead of us. G. S. 9 rn in as a officer never believing that one day i would have the honor and privilege of leading the courageous, dedicated and exceptional talented men and women of c. I. A. I go to the main lobby once a month to administer the oath of office to our newest employees. Many speak several languages. Some have had successful careers in the private sector and want to give Something Back to their country. For all of them, this moment is a culmination of years of hard work and see the enthusiasm in their eyes. As i watched them raise their right hands, i feel a sense of obligation to these officers. They have chosen a profession that is filled with great rewards but also have challenges and sometimes grave danger and its my job to prepare them for it. From day one, i want them to understand they are joining more than an organiz
Saying betrayed in poland, they were betrayed. Ive had conversations with poles since the invasion of crimea. Im convinced that they would accept the missiles again, even though we havent been very reliable in our partnership. Theyre taking a lot of heat. Theyre right there. I mean, russia is next door. And the poles have stood in the middle of invasions going two directions, in the memory of many of the poles yesterday, they have enjoyed a long period of peace, fairly long, considering their history. But the poles would, i believe, would accept the missiles today and we ought to place them there. The czeches, i dont have as good a measure on, but i would be hopeful that we could place a radar there. And start to build up the Missile Defense shield. We did operations on the ground in poland last august. We need to ramp them up again and do more ground operations, more joint military exercises. We need to expand those exercises along that part of the world, working in conjunction with n
